erable the Southern Pacific depot be-
ing partly wrecked and carrying down
all the telegraph and telephone wires
with it -
About 250Q persons are being cared
for at San Mateo and many patients
are being removed to that point from
San Francisco hospitals - The man-
sion of the late Alvlnza Haywards has
been turned into a hospital and one
part of the building is being used by
the Southern Pacific as Its hospital
San Mateo Is also sending assistance
to San Francisco

the line of San Mateo county sus-
tained considerable damage in places
but no loss of life Is reported in this
section The large packing establish-
ment of the Western Meat company
has resumed work and the killing
dressing and packing of meat IS under
full way Live stock Is being shipped
to thal -point over the Southern Pa-
cific railway and a plentiful supply of

places as much as six feet Consider-
able damage was done to gravestone1!

have found and burled number 300 as
follows: At Polk and Bay streets 32'
at Portsmouth Square 23 at Wash-
ington Square 12 at the Six Mile

have been lost In these sections

collapsed There is little chance that
half of the Inmates of the collapsed
buildings had opportunity to escape
This Is also true of Chinatown

diers and police so I have been told

front I have received no official re-
port of these The total number of
dead will undoubtedly reach if not
exceed one thousand”

hungry reports that every homeless
man woman and child in San Fran-
cisco Is being cared for and that there
Is no suffering on the score of either
food or drink within the city
Within a short time an ample sup-
ply of milk will be assured The
trouble In this regard has been the
lack of cans The milk that was first
brought into the city came in cans and
these receptacles were not prompt-
ly returned As a result the dairy-
men had nothing in which to carry
the liquid and the supply ran short On
learning this the committee in charge
secured a large number of vehicles
and thoroughly scoured the city pick-’
lng up all the cans At the dairies
chimneys were Inspected and repaired
so that the cans could be washed nd
sterilized and there will be no further
difficulty on this score
The committee is establishing new
relief stations wherever there Is need
for them and in addition to the work
being done officially Is the work done
at many points on the outskirts by
Individuals or Independent organiza-
tions Some of these are working In
connection with the committee and
some are not but all are working to
one end and that end the relief of
the needy is being accomplished
magnificently
Cars and steamers laden to their
capacities with food and medical sup-
plies are pouring into the city from
every point along the coast and
throughout the state and as this sup-
ply has been assured as a permanency
there is not the slightest fear or lack
of food or drink
The relief committee Is issuing
orders on dealers and on supply
stations and within a day or two at
the outside the work will be thorough-
ly organized and ample funds will be
on hand with which to honor all such
orders that have been presented and
filled

that $110000000 will be paid into the

ers and' with this as a start new
structures will soon be In the course

To Rebuild on New Plans
- SAN FRANCISC: Steps are being
taken to organize a movement for the
rebuilding of San Francisco on the'
plans of Architect Daniel Burnham
While the various other committees
have been busy with relief work many
persons have been In consultation and
within the next few days plans will
be outlined and the work of making
arrangements for the most beautiful
city In the world will be built
' The work will commence right at
the water front This district will be
entirely rebuilt on new and modern
as well as picturesque lines It Is esti-
mated that the work right here will
cost $25000000 Wharves and the
like will be constructed on entirely
new lines and new depots will be
built
The other portions of the city will
be Improved exactly after Mr Burn-
ham’s plans which have been ex-
plained in the San Francisco press the
last two years The Terrace at Twin
Peaks and tile various parks and other
beauty spots will not be constructed
No Epidemic Likely
SAN FRANCISCO: Dr J W Ward
chairman of the health committed
says there is no epidemic In San Fran-
cisco and no danger' of one It is
absolutely free from contagion We
at least have fewer of them than we
have under the circumstance any
right to expect Indeed we have at
this mbment fewer cases ' of such
disease than we had a month ago
and there Is nothing In the present
conditions of affairs In San Francisco
that would lead us as medical men to
fear an outbreak The sanitation of
the city la absolutely under control
I wish to impress upon the people of
San Francisco and of the outside
world for I have information that
leads me to believe that alarmist re-
ports emanating from certain sources
In San Francisco may result in an
embargo being placed upon the mem-
bers of refuges from the city The
calamity we have endured Is certainly
unfortunate without adding to it this
additional and unwarranted distress
Refugees Arrive at Berkeley

Guess ths Tempo Was All Right Too
The editor of a paper published in
Little Rock was once In recc’pt of a
complimentary copy of a musical com-
position by an Arkansas friend
Feeling tnat he waB caued upon to
make some acknowledgment of the
courtesy the editor did so in this
wise:
“As the editor of this paper doesn’t
know a demlsemiquaver from a diapa-
son or a bass clef from a ‘high C‘ he
will not therefore be expected to give
an extended notice of this production
We can say however that the type
used In printing the composition is
clear and plain and that the paper ap-
pears to be of the first quality of rag
The design on the front page is most
artistic and the words are as tender
r
as a real spring chicken and as po-
etic as the song of the meadow lark
on a May morn'ng The melody is
sound and all right with no wlndgalls
or collar marks The harmony too
appears to be strictly O K with no
patent detects or noticeable blemishes
The tonality Is clear and resonant and
rests on harmonic relations and mel-
odic elements This is about all the
praise In connection with said compo-
sition we are able to evolve from our
cabbage-flavored temperament — Suc-

A BUSY WOMAN -
Can Do the Work of 3 or 4 If Well Fed
v An energetle young woman living
Just outside of New York writes:
‘‘I am at present doing all the house-
work of a dairy farm caring for 2 chil-
dren a vegetable and flower garden a
large number of fowls besides manag-
ing an extensive exchange business
through the malls and pursuing my
regular avocation as a writer for sev-
eral newspapers and magazines (de-
signing fancy work for the latter) and
all the energy and ability to do this I
owe to Grape-Nuts food
“It was not always so and a 'year
ago when the shock of my nursing
baby’s death utterly prostrated me and
deranged my stomach and nerves so
that I could not assimilate as much
as a mouthful of solid food and was In
even worse condition mentally he
would have been a rash prophet who
would have predicted that It ever
would do so
“Prior to this great grief I had suf-
fered for years with Impaired diges-
tion Insomnia agonizing cramps In
the stomach pain in the side consti-
pation and other bowel derangements
all these were familiar to my dally
life Medicines gave me no relief-
nothing did until a few months ago
at a friend's suggestion I began to use
Grape-Nuts food and subsequently
gave up coffee' entirely and adopted
Postum Food Coffee at all my meals
“To-day I am free from all the trou-
bles I have enumerated My digestion
Is simply perfect I assimilate my food
without the least distress enjoy sweet
restful sleep and have a buoyant feel-
ing of pleasure In my Varied duties In
fact I am a new woman entirely made
over and I repeat I owe it all to
Grape-Nuts and Po’stum Coffee”
